Description
Tomato 'Buffalosteak' F1 produces heavy crops of large beefsteak tomatoes, packed full of flavour from July to October! Ideal for growing in the greenhouse or against a sunny wall. Ideal for slicing and using in sandwiches or on burgers, plus great for stuffing and roasting.For greenhouse cultivation: sow from February to April. For outdoor cultivation: sow from March to April. Sow seeds on the surface of a good, free-draining, damp, seed sowing mix and cover with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place seed trays in a propagator at a constant temperature of around 20-25C (68-77F) until after germination, which takes 10-14 days. When seedlings gain 2 true leaves, transplant into individual 7.5cm (3”) pots of compost and grow on at a minimum temperature of 15C (59F). When growing in a glasshouse tomato plants may be transplanted at the end of May or when the first flowers are showing, if earlier. Allow 3 plants per growbag, or one per 25cm (10”) pot, or plant tomatoes directly into the greenhouse soil. When growing tomatoes outdoors. Gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7-10 days before planting out from early June when tomato plants are 20cm (8”) tall. Choose a sheltered position in full sun on fertile, reliably moist, well-drained soil, and transplant at a distance of 60cm (24”) apart. Drive a (5’) cane into the soil adjacent to each plant to support them as they grow and tie each main stem to its support with soft garden twine.Product specifications:Position: Full SunSupplied as 1x Tomato 'Buffalosteak' F1 seed packet (approx. 4 seeds)Delivered with growing and care instructionsHarvest period – July to OctoberImages shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity.
